Introduction

You probably want to know who Mr. Keler is..

And what does he have to do with Google Gadgets?

Gadget’s Purpose – Phase 1

An application for room mates. Share data:

MessagesShopping ListExpensesAlerts on bill payment

Basic Features

A common message board. A shopping list: everyone can add

items or remove them when they’re bought.

Expenses table: to keep track of expenses.

Bill alerts: Define the date in which electricity should be paid and receive alerts until it’s paid.

A bit of communism

All the shared data belongs to the entire group. Unlike a forum, the writer of a message has no special privileges.

Additional Features

Shop online according to the shopping list.

Pay the bills online. Different skins:

RefrigeratorMessage BoardYellow Block.

Send the shopping list by SMS.

Gadget’s Purpose – Phase 2

All this can be used not only for room mates.

What about: study groups, traveling mates, etc. ?

Our vision:

weGoogle Features

Every user has a default group with which the gadget opens, but can switch to a different group.

Every user can create groups and edit his groups.

Groups may contain all the above-mentioned shared data, or just part of it. (travel partners don’t pay bills)

Android?

You can’t take your google gadget to the supermarket.

We would like to develop a variation of the gadget for cellular phones.

If we don’t have time for that during the workshop, it will be our next step after the gadget is a worldwide hit.

Questions we want to ask

Maintaining the data in databases – what is better?

API for retrieving contacts – is there?

API for smsing – is there? Which name do you like more?
